At RUSSELLJCLARKE: Excellent reply and your suggestions are more beneficial than any others.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the cardio-thoracic (heart) surgeon, highly recommends NUTTZO. It's a great blend of multiple seeds and nuts that have a high level of anti-oxidants (he uses a little of it every day). To find out what stores carry it in your area go to: www.nuttzo.com. I can't buy it in Washington State but there are many…

Bienvenidos y buena suerte. Es importante que continuar tu program cada dia con fe. Lo siento, no entiendo tu idioma portuguese.

That would be a super weight reduction "bonus" but don't get those hopes too high. FYI: emotional stress can: --- increase the total cholesterol profile because: it raises the triglyceride levels that convert to fat. Increased physical exercise (aerobic) activity: increase the HDL levels (the good part of the cholesterol…

The lean turkey is a good choice. Leave off the cheese (high fat) and lots of veggies. Avoid the OLIVES (very high sodium and so are pickles). Avoid the sauces...go for that mustard. Get the whole wheat bread. Avoid the sodas (diet soda makes us fat). Drink water.

SWEET POTATOES with a TWIST.... Last year, I peeled and boiled the sweet potatoes then mashed them using 1/2 cup of orange juice after finely shredding some of the orange peel with a zester. Skip that brown sugar if you can; sweet potatoes do not need the extra sugar at all. I sliced a bunch of oranges in half, scooped out…

TIP: Some phones have a "button" that functions similar to a right button mouse click where a menu pops up that will allow the user to either DELETE or HIDE the unwanted app. I use a Blackberry and have done that with several unwanted, unable-to-be-deleted, apps. It makes those apps non-functional so the user does not…

bump...thanks

Not even one person on MFP is qualified to advise you. See your primary physician without delay (not emergent). Get that appointment within the next 1-2 days. :)

The Reality: Once diagnosed as having diabetes, the person is ALWAYS considered to have the disease. Even when the person has lost the excess fat pounds, the disease is still present but the person is referred to as "diet controlled". high (abnormal) glucose readings risks: major vision problems, high blood pressure, loss…

Well done DUDE! Congratulations. Now, keep those fat pounds off forever.

Maybe he had been watching the new evening time soap program ... "Pan Am" and wanted to find out if you were sporting a tight girdle under your jeans like those tiny-a$$ed flight attendant actresses. ROFL, LOL, lol, lol

You're expecting too much too soon. Good luck!

Rehab, eh? Well, let's get you started on the straight 'n narrow path to better health. Quite often, some medical back issues can stem from obesity that places a strain on all the joints and, at times, the vertebrae (bones up your center back). You may wish to consult your physician about that. You're on the right track in…

You could have a bladder infection OR the glucose level in your blood might be high. You need to see your primary doctor without delay (but it's not an emergency). SUGGESTION: Print off a copy of your daily food diary & exercise diary for the 7 days prior to your doc's appointment. Make the appointment for early morning…

copied and pasted FYI: What side effects can this medication cause? Duloxetine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away: nausea vomiting constipation diarrhea heartburn stomach pain decreased appetite dry mouth increased urination difficulty urinating sweating or night…

NEXT TIME: buy TRUVIA. It's made from the tenderest part of the leaf, REBIANA. Beats that Stevia junk all to pieces. I threw the Stevia in the trash after trying it the first time~~~BITTER.

You are either totally committed to becoming heart healthy or~~~you are not. You're in total charge, accept the responsibility. Welcome to my Heart Healthy World The Making of the New You Welcome to the beginning of your new, healthier lifestyle. You have embarked on a great program where you are the only one “in charge”…

For the past 10 years, my favorite store in which to find great, high quality clothes is: Value Village. Almost all the clothes I have to wear when going to church, out to dinner, evening out dancing... includes fully lined skirts and blazer jackets, gorgeous blouses and some nice dresses that came from some of the finest…

If you're trying to use oats properly, consider STEEL CUT OATS for the lowest GLYCEMIC INDEX. These are especially important for those who are diabetic. You will need to follow the directions to cook them (cannot be cooked in the microwave)

You're making good progress. Keep it going. Stay with your program one meal at a time/one day at a time.

@ My hero, Tony: I know you better than that. You're one of the best role models we have on MFP. You've made awesome progress~~~the hard way. I went to the early Sat. evening service & decided to take myself out to dinner. Was planning to go to the most popular local restaurant (in the same shopping strip mall) but decided…

I keep my bags of nuts in the freezer in zip lock freezer bags; inside, I keep the nutritional label. When I measure out my one or even HALF portion, I weigh the nuts in GRAMS rather than ounces for a closer measurement. You're looking at a full, 8 ounce (cup) measurement rather than a one person "serving". Almost all nuts…

Excellent! Keep it going but... give yourself another one year because the less the body has to lose, the longer the period of the body's self-adjustment periods and stabilization. Just keep staying with that program, one meal at a time/one day at a time. You WILL succeed. :)

Eat more FISH meals... You'll lose weight easier. Minimum: 4 or more/week

Well done... but you have to STAY WITH THE PROGRAM. If you don't, it'll pile back on again. :)
